CGNUGGETS! Retopology and using GoZ

A short sample from my CGNUGGETS video series. To get this complete 60 minute video, it's only $14.95 for 2 videos/month when you sign up at http://www.cgnuggets.com. This video walks through fixing your topology issues so you have a solid mesh to work with when doing your high level sculpting like pores and wrinkles. I use the GoZ function of ZBrush 4 to connect with 3dsmax 2011.

nice, it helped me with some of the things a am working on. a question i had was, well i had two of them.

1. What are the specs on your computer, because it seams to be running zbrush and recording it nicely?

2. why dose the i character change into a lower subdivision every time you move it, i am thinking its some sort of way to speed up zbrush? and if so can you plz tell me how?

keep up the good work

@MarchandVenter - That effect is default in ZBrush. It just optimizes the mesh on the fly so it can rotate it faster. Not sure where the toggle is for that! :) I've got a dual processor machine with 6 GB ram. Hope that helps.

great work as a texture you prefer? 3d max or zbrush ?

how do you turn off the transparency mode when you are retopologizing in zbrush 4. Im having trouble seeing the front from the back. This is a new feature in zbrush 4 (i dont like it) is there any way to turn it off

when I goz from max to zbrush and change the flow or add or remove and then bring it back in zbrush it messes up my mesh. I do the reset x form and reset pivots align to world collpase xform make sure there is no tris but have that problem.

hey!! Sorry if you already know this but if you shift click next to a selected edge in max 2011, you select automaticaly the loop... or the ring if you shift click the other edge
